Bus network gets million-dollar boost

The Victorian Government has committed millions of dollars to improve bus services in the Latrobe Valley.

The Government will allocate $2 million a year to increase services and extend the bus network.

The Member for Morwell, Russell Northe, says the new services are expected to start early next year.

He says it will make public transport a more viable option in the Latrobe Valley.

"We live in a unique area where there is a lot of people who may, for example, live in Moe and work in Traralgon and hopefully this will provide another opportunity for people to use the public transport system in the Latrobe Valley," he said.
